Memo Assignment
Memo Info:
Memo’s are professional letters that are sent inside of a company. We made Personal Block Letters last time—those are letters that you send to an outside company. Memo’s are company wide letters. For example, if you work at Nike, you would send a Memo to the people that work in your department that work at Nike.
Memo Assignment:
Today you are going to pretend you are the Activities Director at a company. You are manager over 4 people and will be writing a Memo to four (4) people in your company. The four people can be anyone you choose. Lafawnda, Shaniqua, Bob and George for example. You are going to be fulfilling a wish for a person (You can chose whatever person you want for their dream) The Memo is going to include instructions to your co-workers on what their dream entails and what they need to do to fulfill the dream.
1. Choose a company to work for that someone would want to visit or do. For example, you probably wouldn’t have a kid choose to go to McDonalds for their Dream Wish.
2. Begin with the End in Mind. Sky’s the limit for this dream. For example, if a girl had a wish to meet all of the Princesses at Disneyland, start with that, and figure out what you would need to do start to finish to make sure your kid gets everything they want.
3. Include four co-workers in the “To” section4. CC me (Mrs. Judson)5. Subject line: Make-A-Wish6. Watch the video on my website so you can see an example of a Wish that came true7. Visit www.wish.org for an example of other Wishes that kids have had in the past. (Don’t spend
